Immature male Blue Wren

These birds are notoriously shy.
I have been lucky enough to find a family that are not shy.
This young male permitted me to take a number of shots.
This was the last, he was in the process of flying off.

Nikon D600
1/1250s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Thank you Sally,
As you can probably see, he was sitting on a fence, espeecially for me.

Lucky to know where to find them.
Lucky he was co-operative.

This is wonderful Elaine. the tail is amazing.
So glad there are wrens around there
that are relatively tame.
PS a belated Happy Birthday for the 4th of July.
How could we forget the 4th of July !!
We won't, again !!
